Brilliant, I tried to download but my country is not listed in there, so I cannot continue with the download.

When will bloody America realise there is a more to the world than a handful of western countries??

This is a very good Ad. Microsoft and Nokia should do videos like this showing the phone what it's capable of doing,.

I have seen the Nokia ads and thay show nothing , only people walking backwards, a useless add this is a lot better.

Also, why isn't video calling just a feature of Windows Phones? I'd assume with the front/back facing cameras and @ least 4G unlimited data and a decent amount of flash memory, that video calling would simply just be a part of the hardware of phones by now...Why is video calling even a business anymore?...Figure calling/texting/video calling/e-mail would be a total package by now...Wish I could do this on my Nokia Lumia more easily...

Is my Skype glitched or something?

Oooookay....Let's be clear. I don't entirely understand Skype it seems...Even thorough online searching seems to be avoiding a very basic question I've had ever since unsuccessfully using Skype as of a couple weeks ago: Is Skype SERVICE free on Windows Phone 8 devices (i.e. Nokia Lumia 810)? I'm fully aware the Skype app is "free" in the marketplace for download.

Also, why am I prompted to add Skype credits when I've been hearing that Skype is free to use on WP8 devices upon placing a call?

In some way I like the Lumia 900 better than the 920. I think it's the big screen.

Latest review (not my words): "So many issues with this version on my Nokia Lumia 900. Wouldn't connect to my Bluetooth headset, always uses only the phone speaker and mic. Wouldn't even work with the wired headset. The person I tried video calling with could barely hear me. Several times exited the app and hence disconnected from skype by hitting the back button. No confirm exit. Does not work in the background. Cannot switch apps in a call. Does not show online contacts reliably. Awful."

*Skype not available for phones with 256MB RAM. What your brand new Lumia 610 only has 256MB RAM? Better buy a new phone soon, sucker.
